  • 3 dried ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

For the Keto Tortillas:

  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg

For Serving:

  • Shredded mozzarella cheese

    • In a blender, combine dried guajillo chilies, dried ancho chilies, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add beef broth and blend until smooth.

    • Add almond flour and egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
    • Divide the dough into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a tortilla shape between two sheets of parchment paper.
    • Cook the tortillas on a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides.
  3. Assemble the Tacos:
    • Shred the birria beef.
    • Place a spoonful of shredded mozzarella on the tortilla, add a portion of birria beef, and fold in half.
    • Cook the filled tortilla on both sides until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
  4. Serve:
    • Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and serve with lime wedges.
